Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Whole wheat croutons
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Anchovy paste
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing by combining the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, anchovy paste, salt, black pepper, and water in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce into a large salad bowl.
Add the grilled chicken slices, whole wheat croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese to the lettuce.
Drizzle the salad with the prepared dressing and gently toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional Parmesan, croutons, or a thin lemon slice, if desired.
